Trump Retweets Post Promoting Conspiracy Theory About Epstein’s Death
[guest post by Dana]
President Trump on Saturday retweeted a post promoting a conspiracy theory about Jeffrey Epstein’s death.
The tweet, by Twitter user Terrence K. Williams, blamed the death on former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and former President Clinton and does not provide evidence.
The tweet included the hashtags #ClintonBodyCount and #ClintonCrimeFamily, as well as a photo of both the former president and former secretary of State. Conspiracy theories linking the death to both the Clinton and Trump himself trended Saturday on Twitter.
This is not the first time Trump has engaged in promoting unfounded conspiracy theories. Consider birtherism, vaccines and autism, Ted Cruz’s father/Lee Harvey Oswald/JFK, to name a few. [Ed. Trump changed his stance on vaccines when faced with the measles outbreak.]

Dave (1bb933) — 8/11/2019 @ 9:28 amJoe Biden says that “No amendment is absolute”, attempting to justify gutting the 2nd Amendment. But he’s wrong. The Abortion Amendment IS absolute, if unwritten.
Kevin M (21ca15) — 8/11/2019 @ 9:46 amHere’s the thing: Trump, once again exposed himself as a shameful fool tweeting the Epstein/Clinton conspiracy theory. Instead of making people talk about that, people are criticizing him instead. Of course he will get angry at those shaming him for pushing a conspiracy theory, and then he will attack without ever once considering maybe the criticism is because he simply can’t keep his mouth shut.
Dana (fdf131) — 8/11/2019 @ 9:49 am“Joe Biden says that “No amendment is absolute”, attempting to justify gutting the 2nd Amendment.”
I gave Crazy Joe the benefit of the doubt on this one because he seems to be saying you can’t just go out and buy a military grade flamethrower (actually you can except for restrictions in just a few states) or an F-15.
But then he employs the oft-misused ‘shout fire in this hall’ analogy to reference freedom of speech. This very legitimate example (“falsely shouting fire in a theatre and causing a panic“) was used to suppress rabbis from distributing anti-conscription pamphlets.

Dana … and?
This is pretty much “Dog bites Man” by now. Trump is a fool, but the GOP offers us no choices and the Democrats don’t even rise to “fool.”
Kevin M (21ca15) — 8/11/2019 @ 10:01 amharkin,
What I’m suggesting is that, should he assert that nothing in the Constitution is absolute, Biden should be asked “OK. What restrictions on abortion does the Constitution allow?”
Kevin M (21ca15) — 8/11/2019 @ 10:04 amAnd the Trumpists will continue to assert that if we find anything to disapprove in Trump’s behavior it’s only because we are “susceptible” to “manipulation” by “media narratives.” It can’s possibly ever be Trump’s own fault.
Radegunda (3578a5) — 8/11/2019 @ 10:09 amBTW, Trump is not alone in this.

Kevin M (21ca15) — 8/11/2019 @ 10:11 am“What I’m suggesting is that, should he assert that nothing in the Constitution is absolute, “
Oh I understood your suggestion and agree there are many out there who think the entire Constitution should be thrown out and will hear him from this perspective.
That doesn’t change my impression in what Biden meant.
harkin (6ddbda) — 8/11/2019 @ 10:17 amWell, I understand why Trump wants everyone to forget that he and Epstein were good friends at one point, but this might not be the best way to do it.
Nic (896fdf) — 8/11/2019 @ 10:35 am19 – No, but the president should not be so quick to promote a theory blaming a political rival of his.
We used to think the president, of all people, should be more careful in public pronouncements. But Trump apologists choose to treat Trump’s verbal recklessness as a virtue — when it suits their purposes.
When it doesn’t, they scold us for thinking that the president’s words matter at all.
Radegunda (3578a5) — 8/11/2019 @ 10:40 amRegarding conspiracy theories such as the one that Trump is trotting out, there is a broader problem with memes from the far right that do not hold up under scrutiny. “Arkancide” has been a one-word reason for Epstein’s death, but it’s bulls**t because the influence of the Clintons’ has waned significantly. Bill hasn’t had a regular job in 18 years, and Hillary hasn’t had steady employment in 6½ years. After Hillary’s embarrassing 2016 loss, the Dems would rather keep her at a safe distance.
The events in Sweden are another example of how these bogus memes get circulated, thanks in part to Trump’s trafficking in bulls**t.
It’s worth a full read. Pat Buchanan must be smiling. Putin, too.
Paul Montagu (35419a) — 8/11/2019 @ 10:43 amWhy does Trump want me to vote for Kamala Harris on November 3, 2020? Why? Why?

Narciso (cc42cf) — 8/11/2019 @ 11:00 amThis is probable cause for the FBI to “interview” Trump, with a material witness warrant if necessary, for any information he has about the death of Epstein, I think.
nk (dbc370) — 8/11/2019 @ 11:04 amYou don’t need Russian camera crews (or the evil machinations of Putin cheered on by Pat Buchanan) to realize Sweden has a very serious immigration problem:
“There has been a lack of integration among non-European refugees,” he told me. Forty-eight per cent of immigrants of working age don’t work, he said. Even after 15 years in Sweden, their employment rates reach only about 60 per cent. Sweden has the biggest employment gap in Europe between natives and non-natives.
In Sweden, where equality is revered, inequality is now entrenched. Forty-two per cent of the long-term unemployed are immigrants, Mr. Sanandaji said. Fifty-eight per cent of welfare payments go to immigrants. Forty-five per cent of children with low test scores are immigrants. Immigrants on average earn less than 40 per cent of Swedes. The majority of people charged with murder, rape and robbery are either first- or second-generation immigrants. “Since the 1980s, Sweden has had the largest increase in inequality of any country in the OECD,” Mr. Sanandaji said…….
…..Sweden’s generosity costs a fortune, at a time when economic growth is stagnant. The country now spends about $4-billion a year on settling new refugees – up from $1-billion a few years ago, Mr. Sanandaji said. And they keep coming. Sweden automatically accepts unaccompanied minors. “We used to take in 500 unaccompanied minors a year,” he said. “This year we are expecting 12,000.”
Yet Sweden’s acute immigration problems scarcely feature in the mainstream media. Journalists see their mission as stopping racism, so they don’t report the bad news. Despite – or perhaps because of – this self-censorship, the gap between the opinion elites and the voters on immigration issues is now a chasm. According to a recent opinion poll, 58 per cent of Swedes believe there is too much immigration, Mr. Sanandaji noted. The anti-immigration Sweden Democrats party is now polling at between 20 per cent and 25 per cent.
Sweden is a cautionary tale for anyone who believes that Europe is capable of assimilating the hundreds of thousands of refugees and migrants who are besieging the continent, or the millions more who are desperately poised to follow in their wake. The argument that these people are vital to boost the economy – that they will magically create economic growth and bail the Europeans out of their demographic decline – is a fantasy.…..
….Meanwhile, Sweden’s neighbour, Denmark, has cut the benefits for refugees in half, and has taken out ads in Lebanese newspapers warning would-be migrants to stay home. The Danes don’t want to be a moral superpower. They can’t afford it.”

Narciso (cc42cf) — 8/11/2019 @ 11:59 amThe connections many have strived to ignore re Epstein, and those that have been shoehorned
This whole thing is weird because between the Clinton’s and Trump, one of them is the president and head of the department that was in charge of Epstein’s incarceration, and the other is unemployed.

It would be fun to watch someone with an iota of wit remind Biden that the Schenck decision (“fire in a crowded theater”) was used as the basis for sending the socialist Eugene Debs to prison for sedition. It would be better if this was done in the presence of Bernard Sanders, Kamala Harris, Elizabeth Warren, and the rest of that gaggle of mindless leftists.

Paul Montagu @23.
I was going to quote that thing, too.
Other excerpts:
That connects the Russian government with something like the El Paso killer’s thinking.
That’s why I think some of the people he could have been communicating with were paid Russian trolls – my guess is maybe based in South Africa.
The New Zealand killer definitely had contact with trolls because he said he had the backing of the “reborn Knights Templar” which is an organziation that probably doesn’t exist, except when stage managed by Russian intelligence. Anything that big would have been broken up by now or shown some other signs of being real.
Sammy Finkelman (d41c9f) — 8/11/2019 @ 3:42 pmI think the whole thing unsealed the day before where Estein is accused of providing girls to famous men, is a pack of lies. There is apparently not one other person who backs her up, and the men have denied in many cases even knowing her. The whole thing is a red herring.
Epstein was apparently at the center of theft and corruption, and to suspect someone had him killed is justified, but to name specific people is at best a quest for certainty where there isn’t any.
Who is sad Epstein his dead? Many of his victims ad his known co-conspirators, because now they may become substitute targets and can’t turn state’s evidence.
Who is happy that Epstei is dead? That would be unknown co-conspirators or recpeints of bribes, as well as lawyers who were suing Epstein, because when he was alive some of his money could have seized by the government or forfeited, but now it will all be available to settle lawsuits. And the lawsuits won’t be fought so hard, also.
Sammy Finkelman (d41c9f) — 8/11/2019 @ 3:50 pmBy the way, it really makes sense that by “The Great Replacement” the El Paso killer meant Tarrant’s manifesto and not Camus’ book. He stats out abruptly mentioning him – then he gets intoa digression and seven sentences later mentions the title.
Otherwise it is puzzling how that book would lead to this, and this also explains why he on;y supports he oldr manifesto “in general.”
Anotehr curious thing: When arrested he said he wanted to kill “mexicans.
Yet he never once uses the word “exican” in his manifesto.
Only Hispanics. And ::migrants” and “home countries”
His editor must have reminded him that most of the new migrants are not from Mexico.

Paul Montagu (181e0b) — 8/11/2019 @ 4:48 pmA president might be expected to exhibit “gravitas” if competent and fair people are investigating. But there seems to be a perception by some, that the “people” might not be so fair. They seemingly immunized anyone who took a yoga lesson, allowed a server to be destroyed, overlooked the Boston bomber, covered for Bulger…dealt with Steele….
A president might also cede discussion to a fair media–but to media fantasists? Like the one insisting that he wants to exterminate Latinos?
He doesn’t seem worried about Epstein revelations damaging him. So why not keep the focus on the people who have every reason to want this to vanish from the front pages?
Ceding the discussion to others is not the honorable and sensible thing in all cases.

Obama just straight up lied. Then they all laughed about it.
steveg (354706) — 8/11/2019 @ 5:30 pm“There was a “sweeping and systematic” Russian conspiracy, and it was an attack on the United States.”
At least you put the proper scare quotes around ‘sweeping and systematic.’
No one in USGOV has actually provided any hard evidence of such a conspiracy for dispassionate public consumption. (Certainly not any that they were willing to take beyond the “court of public opionion!”) The simple fact is that Russian servers are often used by various subversives and intelligence agents because 1. they’re cheap and plentiful and 2. it’s easy to blame things on Russia itself if someone tracks you there. Russian, like many cold and remote nations, has produced a great many mercenary hackers with loyalties as divided and transactional as the typical multinational corporation, and they’re not likely to work directly for the Russian government on a regular basis outside of large bribes or threats.
But there is no Great FireWall of Russia, nor does Russia have the Golden Shield Project, nor does the Ministry of Public Security run their Internet with an iron fist.
“And Donald Trump was its intended and actual beneficiary.”
By any significant percentage point? Half a percentage point? A quarter? An eighth? Measureable within the margin of error?
No, Paul, Russia conspiracy-mongering was accurately described as a hysteria, with actions and rhetoric taken on it far, far, far outside the bounds of its actual effects or dangers.
And while you strained at the Russian gnats, you swallowed the unaccountable domestic security state camel.

I’ll tell you something else, too. It doesn’t have to be because Epstein would directly incriminate Trump. Allan Dershowicz, for one, has already been named (not that I necessarily believe the hooker), and Trump for sure knows a lot more rich jerkoffs who might be perverts than the Clintons do.

And I doubt that there was specific government intent behind the murder of Jeffrey Dahmer in prison, too.
What there is, in American prisons, is malign neglect. The prison officials want the prisoners to brutalize each other and do little to prevent it. It is part of the strategy to control them, and it saves the guards the trouble of doing it themselves.

Dana (fdf131) — 8/11/2019 @ 9:31 pm@ 67, 68, 69 You know, when Mueller was first selected, the Republicans were absolutely satisfied with that choice. They didn’t start to complain about his “bias” and whatever until it started to look like he was taking the investigation seriously and didn’t get really loud until he didn’t find the results they wanted. This has led me to conclude that Mueller wasn’t the problem in this scenario.

nk (dbc370) — 8/11/2019 @ 10:10 pmDisingenuous. The quote was taken directly from the Mueller report, and you conflated two different concepts: (1) Putin’s interference in an American election, which was proven beyond reasonable and resulted in a coupla dozen indictments against Russians, and (2) the investigation did not establish a conspiracy between Putin people and Trump people to push Trump over the finish line. Evidence existed, but not enough to establish with confidence, but not for the lack of trying by Trump people and with the lack of competence by those same Trump people.
Paul Montagu (a2342d) — 8/11/2019 @ 10:12 pmYou also conflated Dave’s comments and mine which, to me, explains your unreasoning gibberish from the 3rd paragraph on down.

Sammy Finkelman (324ec1) — 8/12/2019 @ 6:55 amAbout vaccines: Evidence suggests that the measles vaccine actually prevents or cures autism, but nobody wants to say that.
My speculation as to the reason: Autism is an auto-immune disease. Measles is half AIDS – it damages the memory of the immune system, without, however, doing permanent damages. But it takes two to three years after a chlld has had the measles, in places where it is endemic, for the child death rate from infections to get down to the same level as it is with children who do not get he measles. By that time the child has been exposed to all the usual pathogens again.
Measles can erase some previous immunity. Again, it is half-AIDS. The reason some people die from measles has to be opportunistic infections.
Now, the kicker is, what is true of measles, is also true of the measles vaccine, which is a live virus, and its effect is one sixth the strength of a full blown case of measles itself.
That is one reason it makes a lot of sense to combine the measles vaccine with other vaccines – because if someone was given the mumps or rubella vaccine first, the measles vaccine might undo it. But if they are all given at the same time, the child will be immune to all three.
It is also sometimes combined with the chicken pox vaccine. Not pertussis (whooping cough) though.
Now there may be some other infection, or vaccine, that does the same kind of damage to the immune system that measles or the measles vaccine does and that may account for why now (since 1989) they want children to take it twice.
I’m going a bit beyond what I researched, but not much.
Sammy Finkelman (324ec1) — 8/12/2019 @ 7:28 amYesterday Trump’s excuse/explanation for his tweet, is that he was retweeeting it – he didn’t wrote it and that the person whom he retweeted is respectable beause he has so many followers, and as for what he himself believed, you should look at the question of whether Bill Clinton ever visited he island.
(That does not appear to be true and I read that the releasded papers include a withdrawal of the claim by the woman who made the allegation (although she was still apparently going strong about all the men she supposedly had serviced. And from the James Stewartt NYT article, it could appear that Jeffrey Epstein himseklf wanted to spread this idea that oher men shared his proclivities. Jeffrey Epstein claimed to know people’s secrets because he said they told him, so that has nothing to do wth visiting any place.)
